Dry-Ice's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blinking Eye]

I like this, there's some incredible realism going on in your FBF animation and it looks fantastic despite being monochrome and fairly short. Also I'm assuming it's meant to be a right eye, which points to the lacrimal sack (the pink bit in the corner of the eye) being slightly out of position after the first few frames, but I'm not sure if that's what it's meant to be or not.

Also your signature snaps into place like you ran out of frames to animate it in, which makes it look slightly less awesome. I'd say for a project like this in future, if you're not yet up to animating a short movie with this style (because it'd be extremely time consuming based on your animation style) to just next time create a showcase of 5-6 different pieces of animation and work on some simple actionscript (a play / replay button might be good) to give your movie a bit more interactivity.

Overall excellent animation work, can't wait to see more from you!

SunshineAnBlackSheep responds:

Thanks so much for the awesoem feedback! I'm already thinking about maybe adding a few buttons to get used to things. And yeah, that style..I just love drawing it like that, it sso fun! :)

[SLenderman in the forest]

This was good, I'm not ashamed to say I laughed. Anyway, I think you'd benefit from using a 'Play' and 'Replay' button at the start and end of the Flash, also a more comprehensive use of sound would help. Everything seems to have sound except from when the dude's face hits the floor. Also perhaps some eerie background music would go down well too.

The animation of the trip is well drawn, but the entire thing seems to happen quite quickly, perhaps increase your framerate and spend more time animating to produce a smoother and less choppy final product.

You're doing well though, keep it up!

FunkMation responds:

WILL DO BOSS!!! :)) lol

[Batman eats Pikachu]

You have potential for sure, although this movie is quite rough around the edges your animation is fine. I noticed you put shadowing on Batman's face but not Pikachu's meaty carcass as well, I'd recommend spending more time and effort on having all of the artwork in your movie consistent.

Keep up the good work!

FunkMation responds:

thanks dude! that means alot to me, i'm working hard at that "potential" XD

[Magnus BG Rough Draft]

Pretty good story

The music was great, it had a nice story line and everything, the only thing that really let the movie down was the artwork.

If you re-draw everything much better the movie will most likely get a much higher score.

Overall enjoyable.

BMFMagnus responds:

Thank for the review!

I know the visuals need a serious overhaul, but it'll get done now that I have the reviews to get me going again. I lost the motivation a few years back, but now I'll get it done proper.

Thanks again!

[[Old]Mosquito & the Flash]

Awesome!

I loved the scream, in fact, I loved the whole movie. Damn good job, keep up the good work.

Dayum straight NGer!

["The Golden Mushroom"]

Brilliant!

I'm gonna keep this movie in my favourites as reference for when people say stuff like "ALL SPRIET MOVEIS SUCK LOLZ". This is one of the best sprite movies i've ever seen.

You did the voices excellently, and the animation was perfect. I laughed quite a lot at the little fight scenes, that boomerang part was genius.

Well done, keep up the good work.

MajinPiccolo responds:

Thank you. The voices were very well done thanks to the voice actors, and I'm glad you enjoyed the little fight scenes here and there. I enjoyed making them.

[Habitat]

Refreshing!

It's nice to see an animation here on Newgrounds that isn't completely overshadowed by a constant theme of violence. The FBF animate was done very well, and the music fitted the piece almost perfectly.

I recognised the music as 'Song of Storms' from the Legend of Zelda series.

Very good job.

tricolor responds:

Thanks so much for the kind words... I'm glad you liked the music, and it mea ns so much to hear that you liked the animation. I worked on the syncing, too, so the credit is rewarding.

Cheers!

[Mario Cut Scenes]

Not too bad.

A few things I liked, stuff like the overall length compared to the file size, the humour was okay in places to.

The sound effect you had for Mario screaming was a little overused through out the movie, and the humour got a little bit stale.

A Good effort though, get a few more original ideas next time and maybe start using some 16 bit sprites.

3/5

Camron23 responds:

It'll be better in the next movie.

[Fett's Vette]

Excellent

Man this is awesome, It's well animated and the sounds and backgrounds are good too. It's a shame that the movie cuts off where it does, it could be so much better.

All in all a great movie, 10 / 10.

Jordanog responds:

sweetness! thanks

[stick slaughter]

Nothing special.

First off, you killed the movie with the heavy imperial march theme, and the animation itself was nothing to be proud of. It ran together okay, but it still needs a lot of work if you're gonna start getting really high scores.

Oh, and please never use the Kill Bill theme in a Flash, I closed the window as soon as I heard it and voted 0, because it's way too common these days to hear that same piece of music.

stefan-mcconnell responds:

how is it common? the last time i heard it was 2 months ago
